Get Well Soon

Like all GAA clubs ours is one where we depend heavily
on the volunteer spirit of our our underage coaches to keep our Juvenile
section alive and in turn to ensure that we have players coming through to keep
our adult teams competitive. For a number of years now Benny Flynn has given
selflessly of his time to our Juvenile Section and all of us in the club would
like to wish Benny a speedy recovery from his recent operation and hope that it
won’t be too long before we see him coaching our underage teams again.

at 8:30 pm where the jackpot is €1000.
